Not only did I get to meet Kelly and Andie, I got to meet a few of the quilts from the book. :) There's a Dresden Plate quilt that I was especially excited to see since its made from my Tufted Tweets collection. And Oh. My. Goodness. Gorgeous simply doesn't do this quilt justice. Kelly's piecing is impeccable, I love the incredibly unique layout she came up with and the quilting (by the amazingly talented Angela Walters) is superb.

One of my favorite things about Kelly and Andrea's book is how they have taken traditional quilt patterns and infused a really modern sensibility to them. There's something uniquely special about the projects in the book too. I can almost always find one or two projects in any book that I'd love to make, but there's so many in their book that are now on my 'must make someday' list. The quilt on the cover is one that I think will be my next big project. And in reading through the pattern, its beautifully written, clear and easy to follow. Can't wait to start pulling fabric for it!

And how about this amazing Flying Geese lovely by Andie? I know, amazing, right? The simplicity of the pattern is just so sophisticated isn't it? (Also now on my must make list!)

And here's the best part...Kelly and Andrea were nice enough to give me an extra copy of Modern Designs for Classic Quilts to give away to one of you! To be entered to win, just leave me a comment here and I'd love to hear about a project on your 'must make someday' list! I'll draw a winner on Friday 11/16/12.

Looks like a great book! My must make someday project is a postage stamp quilt for my bed. I'd like to make it with 1 inch finished squares. I don't want to strip piece it, I want it super scrappy. So for me, that would be a big project. I am not exactly a fast sewer.

I have a pattern I've admired for ages and it is on my "someday" list. The background is pieced pineapple blocks and it has lots of gorgeous applique which is needle-turned. I'm sure it will take ages!

My "must make" is a dresden plate done with silk from old ties. I'm building my tie collection now, but that quilt is probably a long way into my future. In the meantime, the quilts in this amazing new book look pretty tempting.Debbie R.

I'm pretty scared to make an actual quilt as I'm mostly a garment maker. The skills are kinda different. I love the images from this book- seems like a great way to learn new techniques and make a modern quilt.

Looks like you had a fantastic time at market. What a great book, that dresden quilt made with your tufted tweets is beautiful, as well as the great log cabin on the front ... I can't wait to see what other treasures that book holds. Thanks for the chance and the great giveaway!

Besides getting a sneak peek into a great book, one of the things I love about this hop is finding out about blogs I haven't seen before. So nice to have found you Laurie. Now I know who's behind the cool tufted tweets collection. Looking forward to following you and your latest collections.

Well, I've had a bowling ball bag for my husband on my list for a year, never could find a pattern but I just made my first actual bag, so I am going to take the plunge and try to get started on it finally soon, so I guess I'll have to start thinking about the other 20 items on my "must do someday list"!Thank you for the giveaway!

Oh there are so many that I want to try. A 'plus' quilt, a dresden quilt, EPP hexagons or lozenges... So much yummy fabric and so many ways to make it into something fun, unique, adored, loved - just not enough time!!

I absolutely LOVE the quilts in this book! I like traditional quilts but sometimes they feel so stuffy, and I WANT to create modern quilts, but I'm not ready to design my own yet. This is the perfect solution! Thanks for hosting a drawing.

I am just starting to wade into modern quilting waters and would love a copy of this book to help guide me. One of my next projects is going to be a big block quilt using my own hand painted and dyed brights.

Wow! How can I pick just one "must make" project???? Guess I have to say a table runner of Kumiko Fujita blocks, like maybe kitchen ones or vehicle ones... Thanks for the chance at the giveaway of that great book!

I inherited a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt from my grandmother (fittingly enough). Making my own is a "must do". I've started making hexies; I have very specific requirements for the type of fabric I'm using and I'm taking my time finding just the right prints.

A quilt on my must do list is a dresden plate. I bought the templates for the cutting and have some fabrics that I am stashing but I am fairly intimidated about the process so I have not started one yet.

The next project on my must make list is a Swoon quilt, pattern by Camille Roskelley - I've loved pretty much every version that I've seen online. Thanks for the lovely giveaway, the book looks incredible! (such a brilliant concept & it looks really well executed).

I have recently finished my very first quilt, Kate Conklins Wonky Donkey. There are so many new quilts I would love to make, can't decide which one first! Maybe the book can help me choose ;)Thank you for this giveaway!

I have a long quilting "to do" list, but one quilt that I must make one day is the Scraparadise as shown here---> http://flic.kr/p/4K6h9h My girlfriend translated the German pattern into English for me.

Both of the quilts are amazing, but I don't think I'm ready to attempt the first! I really love the quiet simplicity of the flying geese quilt.(i know I'm too late for the giveaway, just sharing the quilt love!)
